As a boy, what was your most memorable traveling experience as far as diapers are concerned? Include details such as where such events took place, where you were heading, time of year, your age at the time, etc.

Name	Age	Answer
Tim1965	40	We use to go to Disneyland every year for our summer holidays and many or many times I had my diaper changed on a bench in the open as the line ups' were too long and my mom didn't want to take me to the restroom to change me.
DiaperDon	36	I always wore "diapers" to bed. When we went on trips or camping, my Mom would sometimes buy disposables instead of the regular cloth training pants and plastic pants. This simplified the cleanup and we didn't have to take home dirty diapers. I didn't wear the diapers during the actual traveling, just at night (in hotels or in the tent while camping, etc.). I remember what must have been the first time she bought disposables. We were camping at a family reunion, and my whole family was in the tent for the night. Mom pulled out the diaper, and made me lay down on the sleeping bags for her to change me. I was not used to changing or being changed in- front of the family, and was totally humiliated to be changed like a baby in-front of them.
Antonio	17	When I travel to canada, Toronto, We travel in plane & I was wearing a diaper (gn) one of the other pasagers (women) noticed that i was wearing a diaper and look me whit eyes of....awh! nut i dont care, I was 9 yrz old
jon	17	i likw to where them they protect me
Jon	18	Easter break I had gone to jamaica and during the flight over i had to poop by the time i got to the airport in jamaica I had already messed the already damp goodnight
nik	8	When I was on a train and I used my diaper and the restroom was gross. Age 8
Blaise	12	once i was on a plane sitting in a row with me on the end, my little sister in the middle and my mother on the ally seat. I was wharing my goodnights sence i can not allways tell when i need to go potty. So i was reading when my sister started screeming, my mother saw ghat her sea was coverd will pp and my mon was yelling at her because she thought she did it, but then say that the pp was coming from my pants, (Witch leeked without me knowing i pottyed) so then she got mad at me
Roger		Being a bedwetter I wore diapers at night. On long car trips I wore diapers in case I fell asleep because when I fell asleep I would wet and so mom usually liked to put me in a diaper.
Jerry Scott	44	It was my first airplane trip to Florda I charged in the bathroom at Denver airport and again at Florda airport. I though I was going to have to change on the airplane to but I waited to I got to airport.
soy15!!	15	I went from NY to California and back, during the summer in a hot car, when I was 10. It was at the end of 5th grade. I wet my pants once so the rest of the trip was diapers
		I used to have a big problem pooping in other places in general. My mom would have me either put on a pampers and do it in that or sometimes I would just squat and do my BM in my underwear. Since I was such a tense kid, I usually held it for a while so my poops were usually 3 or 4 huge firm logs. Once I would get started nothing could usually stop the others from just pushing their way out. The worst time was when I had to do it in my underwear while at a rest stop. I was only wearing my undies (I was 10 so by now they were just plain white, no prints for me) and a t-shirt. My dad pulled over and I squatted down and in front of other families took my huge dump and peed as my mom ran out with a pamper. I wasn't done so she just helped me put the pamper on over my undies and I kept peeing and pooping more over the next five minutes. The back looked like I was smuggling a grapefruit by the end, and a couple families were staring at me take my dump while I seemed very capable of doing it in the toilet. It was a really weird scene, but whatever.
soaker	62	I had to wear diapers and rubber/plastic pants do to incontiance. My mother madw sure I had very thick diapers so that the stops would be less. Because of these thick diapers everyone could tell I was a pants wetter. My mother was glad to let any women/girl change me and anyone could watch. My pants were checked to see how wet I was but only changed when I was soaked (2 or 3 wettings) or if I had a BM.
Jimbo	59	Bragging that I didn't wear diapers any more than being made to wear a diaper.
		i was seen once, and that was the greatest
		we where on a train trip to oslo from my hometown. mom, me, aunt and her baby. i had diapers on and in the train coupe another mother with children aged 3 and 7 where there. and she saw my diapers s

But on the trip back I was 5 years old and wore cloth diapers and plastic pants for bedwetting and wore them during the car trip from San Francisco to Santa Ana Calf.
JOHN T	14	AGE 14 WEARING JUST DIAPERS AND PLASTIC PANTS TO VISIT RELATIVES

Bla blbla	15	I went across the country from maine to california and back during 2002. I was 12? during the summer

Describe the times you remember when you were taken into women's restrooms for diaper changes:

Name	Age	Answer
Tim1965	40	Just like any other diaper change anywhere else I suppose. I was so use to being in diapers and having my mom, sister, grandmother or a babysitter change me.
Tommy	43	The main memory that sticks in my head is when we were at Alton Towers, and my sister took me into the womens restroom to change my diaper. It was a busy day in the middle of summer, and the womens restroom was very full. The annoying thing about the restrooms there is that it is an open layout, and the diaper changing table was in full view of everybody. She changed me as normal, and I've got to admit it was the most embarrassing diaper moment of my life.
Mike	20	I remember a older women asking my mother why i had a diaper on at age 13 and my mom replied "punishment". but now if she did that i'd love it!i mean i love diapers now.
jon	17	my gramam changeing me
nik	8	On an airplane
Blaise	12	allways because my dad died
Roger		I was 5 or 6 and we were on a trip and I had wet the diaper I was wearing and had to go. Mom took me to the ladies room with her and I went to the bathroom and mom put a clean diaper on me it was done in a stall so no one really saw anything.
Jerry Scott	44	I have not this experence yet.
soy15!!	15	there were lots of teen girls at them and all of them would stare at me
andy	16	I peed my diaper and my mom got mad so she told the story why i was in diapers for the next month(back talking)
soaker	62	Almost always because my changers were women and girls. Once at age 10 my mother took me into the womens restroom and changed me on the floor for all to see. Girls younger then me were watching as I wet my diaper just befor the diaper change I had to tell my mother to hold off changing me "because I was wetting again" as I lay on the floor with just my T shirt and diapers plastic pants on.
Jimbo	59	Can't remember.
Jeff	12	I remember when I was 8, we were at my aunt's house in Wyoming and went to some fancy restaurant. Mom made me wear a diaper because she was afraid I would have an accident and, as usual, she was right. When she realized I had wet my diaper, she was afraid it would leak so she took me into the women's restroom to change me. At the same time she took me in the restroom, there was a bunch of high school girls there (apparently it was their prom night and that's where they had their pre-prom meal). I begged my mom not to change my diaper in front of them but she didn't care and proceeded to diaper me in front of all of them. They were amazed someone my age was still in diapers and spent the rest of the night stopping by to ask my mom if my diaper needed changed again.
		If we were going on vacation and dad did not go. mom would say its not a big deal.
		on rest rooms where they did not have any handicap toiletts. mom or other adult woman travelling with us would take me in to the women restroom and change me.
diaperme	17	My cousine took me to a woomans bathroom the ladys I dont remember there age or faces were loughing on there way out again I felt emberassed.

Bla blbla	15	After a huge wreck-tons of women were in the restroom, and they all saw me naked

soaker	62	I was travling In the car with my mothers lady friends and they could not stop for my asking to stop because I had to have a BM in my already soaked diapers. I was 12 at the time and they all knew I was in diapers. The ladies told me to soil my diapers because we were not stoping until we got to one of the friend house. "Your soaked anyways" just Kneel on the seat (looking out the back window) andf push it into you diapers. I was holding it in as long as I could. Findly one of the ladies was told by my mom to make me do it and take my shorts off to make sure they would not get soiled also. As I looked out of the back window all of the ladies watch as I soiled my diapers. The lady had her had on my rear as I went. She let everyone know it was comming. After I was finnished several ladies and one 10 year old girl patted the rear of my plastic pants. I was made to set on a rubber sheet the rest of the way. The mess spread at every bump.

Describe how many diapers you packed ahead of time, how much space they took up (how many suitcases/bags) and what you did with the used diapers if you could not get rid of them or wash them right away:

Name	Age	Answer
		no idea really, I was diapered fulltime 24/7 but I never packed the diapers or other stuff, usually mom or my sister did.
DiaperDon	36	I like to travel light, and not check baggage, so I crammed my suitcase with all the diapers I could fit. It was probably more than half my suitcase. (This made the suitcase pretty empty when I came home a week later.) During the week at the conference, I would just go to my room at lunch and breaktimes. I would change the diaper and leave the used ones in the garbage can. The hotel cleaning staff probably thought something was strange, but nobody said anything.
Blaise	12	my mother packed them
Roger		4 diapers for every day we would be gone and 2 pair of rubber pants for each day. I didn't always wet while on the road but I always wet at night. I might be wearing a diaper that was dry when we stopped for the night and in that case my mom or me when I was older would pull a pair of rubber pants on for bed.
bj.ds	9	I packed about a pack of diapers, they took a whole backpack. I would wear the used diaper till i could get to a trashcan.
Jerry Scott	44	I put about 15 diaper in my suitcases for the airplane trip because I thought they might find they at the airport but they made it just find.

Tommy	43	My sister was normally good about it, she treated me the same as usual - if she was nasty to me she was made to wear diapers as a punishment; so she never really did anything nasty to me.
DiaperDon	36	The only difference was the disposables instead of the cloth I wore at home. They didn't act any differently.
Mike	20	My siblings laughed they're heads off when my parents put it on me and once i said no and that was a mistake because they stuffed it so it would be "unconfortable" but it wasnt! that's when i turned to loving diapers. Now at 20, im always wearing diapers on trips and my girlfriend loves it!

In fact she would ask me if boys wear diapers and girls go to the potty and I would tell her yes (I was a Deekerian before I knew Deeker).

Jeff	12	When I was 8, we went to Wyoming to see my aunt and uncle. I still wore diapers nearly all of the time then although I didn't think I needed to. One day we were going to go to the local mall so mom grabbed a Huggies and told me to lay down so she could diaper me. When I refused, she told me I could either wear a diaper under my shorts or, if I still refused to wear one, she would forcibly make me wear one with nothing covering it. I didn't believe her and kept pouting so she got really mad and spanked me before putting the Huggies on me. She then took off all of my clothes except for my socks and shoes, picked me up and put me in the car. She then made me walk around the mall wearing nothing but a Huggies, shoes and socks. I was totally humilitated.

Jeff	12	Last summer when I was 11, I had pretty much gotten out of diapers except for nighttime (I'm still a bedwetter). Because of my newfound bladder control, mom decided I didn't need to wear diapers on the car ride to our aunt's house (it's a 4 hour trip by car one way). About an hour into the trip I fell asleep and soaked my underwear. Mom got really mad, stopped at a Wal-Mart and bought a package of disposable diapers. She then diapered me and wouldn't let me wear anything over my diapers. I was then kept in diapers for the next 2 days nonstop as punishment.
Brian	14	I had a friend who forgot to pack underwear for his family car trip when he was 6 and had to wear his 4 year old brother's diapers for the trip
JOHN T	14	MY SISTER GOT THEM READY
